Ginny has GREEN eyes? and What were the Malfoys DOING there?

I was just listening to the US audiobook of CoS (the one with Jim Dale) and two things 
struck me.

First of all, at the end of Chapter 3, "The Burrow", Ron and Harry are walking up the stairs 
to Ron's room, and they walk by an open door inhabited by a pair of "bright GREEN eyes"--
Ginny's. Now I just checked in the US hardcover edition, and the book definitely reads 
"bright BROWN eyes." Does the color variation occur in any other edition? Because if 
Ginny's eye color is green (like, say, Lily's and Harry's--not to mention Dobby's) rather 
than brown, then that HAS to be significant, and not only from a ship perspective... though 
from that perspective too, I suppose. If we want to get Freudian. If, on the other hand, it's 
a one-of-a-kind change... then we can blame it on Mr. Dale, and move on.

The second question that came up was in the next chapter, "At Flourish and Blots". Malfoy 
and son enter the shop where Harry is hiding in order to sell some illicit and/or 
incriminating items. The proprietor starts getting chatty about lack of respect being shown 
to pure-bloods and then... "In that case, perhaps we can return to my list," said Mr. Malfoy 
shortly. "I am in something of a hurry, Borgin, I have important business elsewhere today 
-" (CoS, US ed, p 51)

Here's my question: HOW THE HECK DOES LUCIUS KNOW THE WEASLEYS ARE GOING TO BE 
IN DIAGON ALLEY THAT DAY???? His whole plot--indeed, the whole plot of the book--
hinges on his being able to slip the diary to Ginny. He clearly is counting on this. So how 
does he know she'll be there just then?

Sorry if this has been discussed to death before...
